Not easy to be positive without more information about your code base, but the only times I had symptoms that resemble what you describe, the problem was that the JVM died before printing. That is, you have multiple threads, and printing is asynchronous at many levels (even the terminal itself buffers stuff). If the app dies in that condition it's actually fairly common that messages aren't visible, even though the statement and sometimes a few next ones have indeed run. Nothing to do with Timbre as far as I can tell.
Maybe try to give your app a bit more wall-clock time between the error and killing the process? (Note: I don't think you can do that by sleeping in the shutdownhook as the JVM will not necessarily wait on that one.)
